A game board (10) having nine regions (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28) and four penalty regions (30, 32, 34, 36) is played using a pair of standard, six sided dice (42), a plurality of instruction cards (40), and a plurality of game pieces (38). Each game player has a set of game pieces (38) which are the same shape and/or color. Seven of the nine regions are defined as playing regions (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24) and have numbers associated with each, one region (28) is where the instruction cards (40) are placed and selected from and also has a unique number associated with it, and one region (26) is where a new game piece enters the board. Each instruction card (40) has an instruction relating to the movement of a game piece (38) on the board (10).
